Taylor has been a dynamic, dizzying force for the Clips in the dregs of spring basketball. His size will continue to present challenges defensively, and he’s not a natural distributor — but he’s also only 22 years old. There’s no reason to believe that more minutes, a little time at guard camp, and a productive summer league won’t improve those skills.

What accounts for Taylor’s jump up the scale? I think it’s akin to a major leaguer with a limited number of plate appearances who goes on a tear. When a batter is 15 for 80 on the season with 5 walks, his OBP is a meager .235. If he goes 8 for his next 12, with 3 walks, that OBP balloons to .310 less than a week later.
